Kinetic energy recovery device of liquid and gas

Abstract

A kinetic energy recovery device of liquid and gas has a gas guide member and a liquid guide member both being stood, and a vane wheel installed at communicating portion between the gas guide member and the liquid guide member, and at rising of gas in the gas guide member and flowing-down of liquid in the liquid guide member, the vane wheel is supplied with the rotating force and therefore rotated. A generator connected to a rotary shaft of the vane wheel is rotated, and both kinetic energies of the gas and the liquid act simultaneously and the power generation is performed and the energy is recovered. The vane wheel is installed to each of the gas guide member and the liquid guide member, and the rotary shafts of respective vane wheels are interlocked and rotated simultaneously, thereby the generator may be rotated by both kinetic energies of the gas and the liquid.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A kinetic energy recovery device comprising: (a) a vertically oriented gas guide member;   (b) a liquid vessel connecting a first liquid guide member for liquid input from an upper region and a second liquid guide member for liquid exhaust to a lower region;   (c) a first vane wheel arranged rotatable within said liquid vessel on a first rotary shaft;   (d) a second vane wheel arranged rotatably on a second rotary shaft extending in the lateral direction shifted with position of a wide portion in said gas guide member;   (e) a bevel gear interlocking the first rotary shaft and the second rotary shaft;   (f) a flywheel fixed to the first rotary shaft;   (g) a generator interlocked through a frictional wheel to said flywheel and rotated and driven; and   (h) a liquid pumping means connected to said liquid storage member for pumping in liquid to said liquid storage member through the first liquid guide member for liquid feeding-in from an upper region.   
     
     
       2. A kinetic energy recovery device comprising: (a) a vertically oriented gas guide member;   (b) a liquid guide member adjacent to said gas guide member with a spacing and at a position shifted;   (c) a first liquid storage member arranged on the upper end of said liquid guide member;   (d) a first vane wheel arranged vertically rotatable by a rotary shaft supported in the lateral direction shifted with position of a wide portion in said gas guide member;   (e) a second vane wheel arranged with position shifted at a wide portion in said liquid guide member and a supported to be rotatable in the lateral direction by the rotary shaft support in the vertical direction;   (f) a flywheel fixed to the rotary shaft supported in the vertical direction;   (g) a generator interlocked through a frictional wheel to said flywheel and rotated and driven;   (h) a second liquid storage member arranged at lower side of said liquid guide member; and   (i) a liquid pumping means for pumping liquid into said first liquid storage member from said second liquid storage member.   
     
     
       3. A kinetic energy recovery device comprising: (a) a vertically oriented gas guide member;   (b) a liquid guide member positioned adjacent said gas guide member;   (c) a first vane wheel means rotatably supported in said gas guide member and a second vane wheel means rotatably supported in said liquid guide means so as to rotate upon receiving the rotating force from a gas flow rising in said gas guide member and a liquid flowing in said liquid guide member, respectively;   (d) a liquid storage member associated with said liquid guide member for initially storing the liquid that flows in said liquid guide member;   (e) an electrical generating means for recovering energy recovered from the rotation of said first and second vane wheel means resulting from the gas flowing in said gas guide member and from the liquid flowing in said liquid guide means, respectively; and   (f) liquid pumping means for pumping in liquid to said liquid storage member.
